Why giant hogweed is a problem in Ballinasloe
On Ballinasloe properties, giant hogweed sap causes severe phototoxic burns and long-term light sensitivity, which makes it a genuine safety issue on footpaths, riverbanks and school boundaries. In Ballinasloe, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Suck and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Garbally Park and Shannon Callows, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Ahascragh and Aughrim, are where we most often find established stands.
